Asrock X370 Gaming K4 temperature reporting

I've googled many other motherboards from ASRock, Asus, MSI and Gigabyte and HWINFO screenshots for them. It seems, that ALL ASRock AM4 motherboards have problems with temperature reporting, and hardly any motherboards from other manufacturers have. Asus X370 Prime Pro and Crosshair VI are good, MSI 350 Tomahawk is good, Gigabyte X370 Gaming 5 is good. The interesting thin is (but I can't prove it) that temperature reporting for some of the boards was broken, but was fixed with a BIOS update.

After some investigation, i realise that the temp recorded by the motherboard/f-stream software/bios is way lower from ryzen master and HWmonitor, which causes my fan to not spin up relative to actual temps? i assume ryzen master and HWmonitor to be accruate as they are showing the same temps. It varies from 10-25degrees celcius hotter in HWmonitor and ryzen master than as detected by the bios/ f-stream. For example, fstream: 48degresss, HWmonitor 72degree Anyone else encountering the same issue? Thanks!

Same problem with my X370 killer ac. I had to set my fan curves to be more aggressive but it's not an ideal solution. The temperature the mobo watches for fan speed is not only lower than the temperature you mention in HWmonitor and Ryzen master, but also takes a lot longer to heat up. When you first start prime95 or other stressing program the gap is big and narrows over time. I hope this is fixable with a bios update.

It seems it uses a sensor under the socket, which is very slow to react: http://imgur.com/zv3RF0b . Tdie/Tctl is read by HWINFO, and is fast to react on load (Prime95), and reported temp is very slow, so is the fan curve.

The graph you posted, and the other graph in the reddit thread is a really good visualization of what's going on.

yeah  there should be a way to control the fans with Tdie.

F-Stream untility reports incorrect temperature too. I assume, that correct temperature is the one displayed by Ryzen Master, developed by AMD, and F-Stream does not match those readings.

But we do not know where the CPU temperature reading location with third-party utility, it may cause the CPU temperature would not display the same. So, we would suggest user to observe the CPU temperature by our official F-Stream Tuning Utility directly. Thanks! All the best, ASRock TSD

Hi there,

Are there any plans to fix this in an upcoming BIOS update? I have a 1700x and I was not able to OC it at all. After weeks of buying a separate new mobo, cpu, gpu, and ram to rule out the source of my instability, I finally found the reason and it's because my comp was shutting down due to "high temperatures" to protect it from any damage.

My Kraken x62 was reading 109c!!! but in reality, the temp was actually only 60c on both Aida64 sensors and HwMonitor during stress testing...thus I can't overclock my 1700x at all. Please let me know soon. I might have to go with another mobo from another company soon if this is the case. Thanks.
